Distance really isn't that relevant. Time of travel is. This was drilled home to me having moved from a relatively "sparse" metro area to one of the most dense cities in the US.

7 miles might mean a 7 minute drive, or 90 minutes on poor public transit stuck in traffic. When I lived in my previous place, someone 7 miles away would have been a regular daily friend. Now, I would not see someone more than every few months since 7 miles is the equivalent of a 45 minute drive most hours of the day in most directions unless they happen to live right next to rapid transit.

My closest friends here in the city live a 7 minute and 18 minute walk away. I see them about as much as I'd have seen someone living 5-10 miles away from my previous location. The only real difference is the ability to drink while visiting.
I left the Valley in the 80s and the Old Country around the turn of the century; these days I'm glad I escaped my (small-coastal-town) local optimum there.

My experience here was that the local language took ~2 years to pick up, but feeling at home with the local culture took closer to ~5 years.

At least in my neck of the woods we're still into Humboldtian Bildung, so depending upon what your interests are, you stand a good chance of being able to find like-minded communities. I met the girl I married through sports, and when I was Fresh Off the Boat, playing in various musical groups allowed me to see a fair amount of this and neighbouring countries in the company of people who helped me with the languages and cultures.

How much local exposure have you had? Are there any places you've visited which struck you as potential places to settle in?

The 9/11 military airspace defense mission was a mass of confusion, as a consequence of the then-novelty of civilian airliner suicide hijackings and split information between the FAA and NORAD.

Hypothetically, the fighters launched could have shot down a civilian plane, but it would have taken direct presidential authorization (i.e. national emergency).

In the absence of an immediate threat, that authorization isn't going to happen.

Drones in most cases are a civil law enforcement matter.

They're not obviously the actors of a foreign nation state, are not an invasion, and are not posing an immediate threat.

> set theory is the foundation of all of mathematics

I disagree. I would say set theory is a foundation, not the foundation.

Which system is the "correct" foundation of mathematics? Does it even make sense to talk about correctness in this context? These are open questions and they're very interesting! Don't prematurely close yourself off to them by assuming that set theory's role is some kind of scientific fact.
The rules are dumb. It's similar to the F1 situation where drivers are protesting the FIA.

I think this has to be put against the larger context of Rust… fans that push very hard for the entire world to be rewritten in Rust. Just look at how many Rust projects where their front page / README has the first line as "written in Rust" as if that's the number 1 feature a user should care about. As such I think there was an outsized voice of re-writting cURL in Rust and whatnot as occasionally there will be buffer overflow bugs that admittedly would not have existed if the code in question was written in Rust. That's why there was the experiment to add a new backend using Hyper because in theory they should not be prone to the same class of memory bugs.

As for why not making it the default, the post already made it clear? The new backend did not pass all the tests and therefore could not possibly be the default backend until that was fixed and turned out fixing the last few issues were quite hard. cURL has also supported different backends for a while now. For HTTP/3 for example you can swap out the backend for something else. This is like driving a car. If you literally don't care at all, just use the stock tires/engines and it will drive fine. But sometimes you may care and swap out the stock components for something else that suits your needs, and cURL allows that. cURL / libcurl gives a stable ABI as a glue but it's intentional that you can swap out the backend.

How much money does country X spend paying Windows or MS Office or Photoshop, simply as the cost of doing business? And it's not that any other country couldn't – technologically – come up with a competitor to Windows, MS Office or Photoshop, it's that it is basically impossible for a non-US product to gain any traction in the tech world, for reasons that are both economical and legal. In fact, in many tech domains, the best that a non-US company can hope for if they want their product to be successful is to be bought by a US company.

Seen from the rest of the world, the has spent the last few decades killing the software and hardware industry of everybody else through practices that feel very much like a combination of a tax on tech and an abuse of monopoly.

If you wonder, the rest of the world doesn't quite see any difference between the "unfair" practices of which US Conservatives accuse China and the practices that the US has adopted for the last 40+ years in a number of domains when it comes to becoming/remaining the dominant player in a number of fields.
I signed up with Capchase on a 12-month contract, too. Does this mean my contract is with Capchase and I’ll have to pay for the next 12 months even if I don’t get the service?

Having tried this I immediately regretted it. Storage is not costly enough to justify the additional pain points that you've correctly identified.

There's always the 2.25 OID space via URN (urn:oid:2.25.12345...). In which case you encode the underlying integer directly without any grouping punctuation involved.

For the same reason above you should use probably use a single encoding for all use cases, at which point, just using the ugly 8-4-4-4-12 will save you the most trouble.

> And if Dark Google has not yet figured out how to scam AI... it is only a matter of time.

There is one thing the AI companies have going for them that Google doesn't: They don't have 90% market share.

That's a huge problem that only Google has, because if your black hat SEO stops working against Google, you dedicate all your efforts to fixing it until it does, and then Google has to win against the combined efforts of everyone in the world.

Now suppose there were a dozen search engines that all had around equal market share. You find something that works against the first one but that causes you to get dropped to page 10 by two of the other ones. You finally find something that works against three quarters of them... for a week... after which it still works against a third of them but doing that causes the other two thirds to drop you again. To have any chance with those now you have to stop doing that, but if you do you fall off the front page for the third it was still working against. Also, by the end of the month that third will be a quarter.

You could target only one specific search engine, but then you're doing the same amount of work for only 8% of the advantage, meanwhile that search engine can concentrate their efforts on thwarting the similarly smaller percentage of black hat SEOs who chose to target them instead of one of the competing search engines.

It's much harder to hit a dozen moving targets at once than just one.

You can get 4060 ti 16GB cards for ~$450 or 4070 ti 16gb for ~850 instead of the $2.5k for a 4090. I wonder how well 4 of those cards would perform. The 4060 TDP is 165w instead of 450w for the 4090. The 4070 looks like the best tradeoff though for cost/power/etc though. You could probably set up an 8 card 4070 ti 16gb system for less than the 4 card 4090 system
Tiresome take that's been repeated time and time again. China has problems like any other country larger than Luxemburg. But the conclusion that "china is fucked" sounds more like a wish than anything else to my ears. The Chinese economy is growing ~5% per year. It's got one of the worlds most well educated workforces. It's manufacturing everything from basics to high tech and very little indicates that's about to change anytime soon.

The chip technology sanctions might slow development in that area in China, but I wouldn't count on it.
And this is definitely a strong benefit.

The benefit of Rust's typing is that (in the absence of `unsafe` or bugs in the compiler or stdlib), it's a simple theorem prover. Much less powerful than the theorem provers you can use with SPARK, but it's a start :)

Then why not send the automated responses (or nothing) to the obvious spam appliers and save the feedback for the clearly more legitimate applications? If the argument is that so few applications are legit, then it should be proportionally few emails to send.

Trust is not just petty crime. It's everything from crime to business transactions and more.

I might leave my laptop on a table while I use a public restroom in China, but I sure as hell trust a business partner far less than I would one in the US on average.

Cultures differ greatly in how trust is assigned and expectations. There are areas in Eastern Europe I would walk through a dark alley at 3am in the 'bad' part of town and not think twice about it. But I sure wouldn't trust their police force to not be corrupt and expect a bribe if they hassled me. The reverse holding true in a major city in the US.

If I didn't know better I'd think this was satire. As far as I can tell the advocacy is for either companies to be empowered to sue people who apply to work with them (seems like madness) or to set up a situation where the government enforcement arm pro-actively goes out and harasses unemployed job seekers. Either way that sounds like a recipe for disaster for unemployed persons.

For me, "religion" generally means "belief in invisible people/spirits/beings that have influence on the world". Superstition is a superset of that that includes the subset of "belief in ghosts/spirits/souls aka, invisible people/spirits/beings that have influence on the world". The majority of Japanese (and probably most other cultures) believe in "ghosts/spirits/souls that have influence on the world" but most Japanese might not a few special all powerful ones (eg: "God").
No? Adding a Rust backend does not change the API. It just calls into the Rust backend via C bindings. If all you care is ABI stability from the user side none of this would break.

cURL already supports other Rust-written backends as the article pointed out. See https://everything.curl.dev/internals/backends.html.
I am not really convinced that 3-5 years is not a reasonable useful life. You are comparing one person owner bike to an electric bike ridden throughout the day but all sorts of people. Maybe it gets trashed and maybe it gets broken down and recycled parts where possible.
A well maintained commuter bike is ridden twice a day during those 10+ years.
I've read the post you're responding to like 3 times, and after pondering it deeply, I'm pretty sure the conclusion of their line of thinking pretty definitively stops at "Apple should not be sending data off the device without the user requesting it." If you think otherwise, you should maybe provide more of an argument.
So basically - You take a picture. Apple encrypts it and uploads it to their server. The server matches the (still encrypted) picture to a database and tells your device "this picture contains the Eiffel Tower". Later when you search for Eiffel Tower on your device the photo pops up.

Is the complexity and security risk really worth it for such a niche feature?

It's also funny that Apple is simultaneously saying "don't worry the photo is encrypted so we can't read it" and "we are extracting data from the encrypted photo to enhance your experience".
I would expect much bigger issues and failure to charge at all if there's not a reasonable voltage on the USB line.

Subjective enforcement is a great tool in cases like these. Not necessarily what’ll happen, but unclear criteria allows politicians to dictate what is “advanced”.

The measurement is roughly equivalent to the density that feature size would allow in previous generations. Intel ditched the number anyway.

> it is often better to use if cfg!(...) instead of #[cfg(...)] because code behind the latter is eliminated very early

My experience with this is the other way around, especially if you have crates tied to that feature.

The cfg! is a marco that compiles to true/false, so whatever is inside of the if guard needs to compile regardless.

E.g.:

Cargo.toml

[features]
default = []
my_feature = ["deps:feature_dependency"]

[dependencies]
feature_dependency = "1.0.0"

And in code:

if cfg!(feature = "my_feature") {
feature_dependency::something::Something::invoke();
}

This will fail if you compile without `my_feature`.

I did a quick sketch of premises, no warranty :) Curious for your thoughts, tl;dr: imho there doesn't seem to be a reason to investigate OpenAI's working conditions.

- Person A died

- Person A used to work for company X

- Person A spoke negatively about company X's choice in training data sourcing

- Company X has a lot of money

- Law enforcement should investigate Company X workplace conditions

I think the missing piece is some sort of evidence Company X was involved, or finding some tangible evidence that someone who committed suicide was materially, and thus criminally, caused by workplace conditions at a job they left a while ago. (this is a pretty high bar, a civil suit has ~0 bar and would be easier, but law enforcement isn't responsible for helping with those)

The public funds uninterested cross-discipline teams of highly trained professionals to crosscheck eachother on ex. cause of death, and without any evidence from that process indicating a possiblity someone other than the decedant was involved...it appears to be a leap.
It's also a completely different approach. Probably additional performance could be gained by implementing JIT support for additional LuaJIT bytecodes. But we cannot predict how significant this gain would be. If the concept has limitations, more money likely doesn't change much. We can also compare with the old Mono 3 version developed by a rather small company (Xamarin, before they were bought by MS), which follows yet another approach than V8 or LuaJIT, and which achieves about the same performance as V8; see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcase....
I'm not really sure what to say to this, other than watch this video and apply similar thinking to this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK32jo7i5LQ

The leaf structure itself doesn't really have anything to do with ZF set theory or Von Neumann ordinals, other than supplying the inspiration for the base structure. Same way prime numbers don't generate the spirals in the video, all numbers do. So leave the ordinals out of this, experiment with different tree construction methods and you might uncover something cool about trees (but not necessarily about set theory)
It seems likely that the miles put on a "commuter bike" used for commuting twice a day for 10 years are within shouting distance of the miles put on a bike used for several hours of deliveries every day for 3 years.

The company is incentivized to get the most out of their investment. If the bikes can be maintained economically by staff mechanics, they will be — and these vehicles ought to be simple enough devices for mechanics to squeeze a long life out of them.

If there's a difference, it would be in the lack of an ownership mindset by the riders: they might abuse them akin to how drivers abuse rental cars.
